Small headbands and furry hats

Maybe it is Christmas time or then just a feeling that there is plenty of things to do.

I am inspired to a certain degree (always the case when there is no time) and would love to try out various dress designs and other things. When I actually have time to do that remains a mystery. I am eagerly waiting for Christmas Holiday to begin (next week!).

As I said in my previous post I have been busy with commissions. I recently got a commission for full MSD dress set and I have visited fabric stores in order to find some suitable fabrics for it. I did do an extensive cleaning in my fabric box and put all my fabrics in the same place so they would be easy to find. There are so many and I still don't have enough!



Of course I do not feel like sewing all the time. So I wanted to make some more of the headbands. Now in smaller size as the previous ones were all for  SD/Super Gem sized. These three were made for Yo-SD/Tiny but also fit small headed MSDs.

Yesterday I finished one commissioned headband similar to the first design shown in these picture but in white / pale orange colors. So yes, these are available to be commissioned in the colors /sizes you wish for provided that I have the flowers around in that particular color / style.




The first design was sold before I had the chance to post it up in the store, but the other two similar designs will be available through the store.

Some quick pictures of the new furry hats I previously mentioned. There are three designs and they fit for heads 8-9 as well as 9-10 inch. Their insides are lined with japanese pattern fabrics. Strangely enough the animals seem to be straight out from Alice in Wonderland without me noticing it while making them. I guess it isn't very hard to figure out what is one of my favourite stories.. And certainly one of those that inspire me a lot.

Hisa made it back to me. She was having a new face-up with her twin sister Himawari ~ Both of them came back to me, Hisa home and Himawari to visit so I can take lovely twin pictures (Himawari just has to borrow someone's body.. ). They make nice models for the hats, don't you think?

I did make three hats out of the furry fabric until it ran out. However, I was left with tiny pieces and I didn't want them to go to waste. Thus I made a furry collar and an armwarmer for SD/Supergem girls. They are offered as a set. Nice for some winter themed pictures, right?

 Now I am off to update the store so that these new furry wintery items will be available. Thank you for reading!

Commissions

Days are dark, but so far snow has not stayed on the ground.
I hardly have any chances to take pictures so that there would be daylight around.
Thus, my apologies, the pictures are rather dark and bad quality at the moment.
I still feel its better to document with something than be completely without pictures.
Pictures give some life to my dull writings, don't you think?

My models at the moment. Hisa and a new cat hat design and a Soom Migma, nameless girl with lacy choker and headpiece.

Commission: A full white satin dress similar to Soft Peony design.

I have been busy with few commissions. Finished one bunny hat in MSD size, Then got a boost to try one new fabric I recently found (I can never have enough fabrics although I keep saying I won't buy anything more until I have used all I have... ). There, I got a new cat hat design you see on Hisa. Also made another with bunny ears, maybe the third and last (the fabric will only be enough for three SD sized ones..) will have yet another set of animal ears.. Which ones I should choose? Maybe mouse ears or something?

Polkodot skirts - light brown in Supergem size, dark brown in Narae/Unoa size

Completed one Narae/Unoa sized polkadot skirt. The biggest thing was that satin dress. It is lovely though, now I see it completed. All shiny and long. Should perhaps do few more longer dress designs for sale as well.Along with the satin dress I completed one black corset top and black Supergem underwear set. I might be able to get some pictures of them later on. No light to do that now.

Next on the table I have Hisa who would need at least something new to wear for Christmas. Thought I would give it a try out of some nice polkadot fabrics. Accepted a commission of MSD dress set as well. So two projects going on even now. Few weeks till Christmas! I was thinking to do a kind of event but in the middle of everything I don't think I have sufficient time to complete that plan, not for Christmas. But! I didn't say I would give up on the idea. Will keep those plans firmly in my mind~
Now to finish some seams and to start off something new.

Updates coming soon

It is apparent that I have been rather quiet recently.
I have had a lot going on in my life and thus haven't had much time for sewing.

Hisa is away getting a new face-up and I am missing her terribly.
During the spring she was my primary model for SD dresses and although I now have a possibility to use my other SD girls (Vanamo - Volks Kurumi and Aya - CP DES) as models it is hard to change my preferred model.
Hisa's body got hot-glue sueded of which I am very glad. She is able to pose better.

No pictures for this post as I had to leave my camera behind as well.
Next month is sure to be more productive. Both pictures and clothing.

During my short summer break (3 weeks only and constantly travelling) I was able to use few days to sew one dress out of the lovely Etsy fabrics I got earlier. Pretty much the same style as my previous ones, with some nice details. Vanamo was the model for that one, therefore it will fit to SD girls with larger bust. Next post will probably bring around few pictures.

I am also happy to announce that MSD sized clothing will be available next month.
I have few plans for MSD sized full dresses from some fabrics I found from my closet.
Those will most likely have layer designs, those were previously well received and I wish to do more.

I have been requested to try out some bloomers.
Made a few attempts in tiny size. If those come out okay later they may also become available.
So far the pattern has made progress, but not quite enough for me to be satisfied.

Dolliverse 2013

So, yesterday I attended to Dolliverse 2013, a wonderful dolly event here in the Netherlands.

Met a lot of wonderful people and a special thanks to all those who liked my dresses and bought them.

 

Last time I had issues as I had very little time to prepare and very little to sell.

Now I had more which is why it took so long to get the stand up.

All those price tags...

I feel I was right to make tiny dresses as there were many tinies to  try them out.

However, I did notice that more Pullip sized clothing would have been needed.

Both dresses I had in Pullip size were sold.

There is something for me to consider for the next time I hope.

So, a list to remind me later.

 

To do better next time:

- Stand display planning

- Pullip sized clothing

- MSD sized clothing

 

Mai - DD-Anne March Hare is searching for a new home, she was also on display at the table.

Thus, it was not only the clothing but also DD-Anne table set and her, which made half of the display for this time.

 

Overall I am very pleased how the day went.

Now I will post some of the remaining stock to Den of Angels for sale.

The actual sales post can be viewed here:

Some pictures from yesterday as well. To share my excitement of the day.

My Hisa ( the one standing) and her twin sister Himawari were the cuties of our table

My attempt to take a picture of the stand itself..

A closer picture of the Tsukifly side of the table (as I shared my table with my friend).

 

My next plans are to work on some Alice in Wonderland themed dress sets.

I have plans for at least a girly white rabbit outfit set - So far I have half finished with a hat.

Also I need to plan a Cheshire outfit. Each of my girls is to take on a character from Alice in a photoshoot.

Once I get there someday. Of course would be awesome to make all the outfits for them myself under Tsukifly.

That is something to try at least.

So yes, that is all for now.

New creations

It seems I have been very active lately.
Have to make the stuff when you have an inspiration to do so.
At least now I feel I have some lovely dresses and other things to sell.

Selection of bunny hats in varying sizes: Tiny, SD, MSD, Pullip
There will be six of them (red one not pictured) for sale.

 

SD sized dress w/bunny headdress. Matching set in Tiny size.

 I haven't yet been able to decide who to bring as my model alongside some mannequins to display some of the dresses. Hisa (Volks Lorina) would be the obvious candidate though :) Also considering Enne (my Soom R.Picro) for she is small enough not to take up too much space. 



Again more decisions. But those are about display itself and can wait for a while now. As can be seen this post is mainly to update and show some pictures of what is to come. These has been made so far.

 

I have some old stock I will be bringing up as well, attach labels on them.

 

Down below you will also see a Soom top I made today.

Overall I am pretty pleased how it turned out. The fabric was a bit of a challenge. Had all those nice patterns I wanted to bring forth. Love the fabric and I also got to use some of those nice buttons I previously bought.

 

That is all for now, catch you later!
